Call Me Up

How can you call me up on Monday
Only to tell me that your feeling down
Now that You've got me in your own way
You've got to thinking 'bout the time that you were gone and feeling fucked and in your own head

But wait

It's not that bad
Unless you're feeling overgrown and sad

But ooo You'll fall apart
And you'll break my heart
But know your not right or wrong

So how can you call me up on Monday
Only to tell me that you're feeling down
Not that you've got me in your own way
You've got to thinking bout another town

But wait
It's not that bad
Unless you're feeling overgrown and sad

But ooo You'll fall apart
And you'll break my heart
But know your not right or wrong

And ooo you'll fall apart
And you'll break my heart
But know your not right or wrong

So how can you call me up on Monday
Only to tell me that you're feeling down
Not that you've got me in your own way
You've got to thinking bout another town

And ooo I forget
I always forget

Ooo you'll fall apart
And you'll break my heart
But know your not right or wrong

So now that you call me up on Tuesday
Only to tell me that I bring you down
Now that ive got you in my own way
You've got to thinking bout another town

And ooo I forget
I always forget

Ooo you'll fall apart
And you'll break my heart
But know your not right or wrong

And ooo you'll fall apart

And you'll break my heart
But know your not right or wrong
